IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Warning – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury

to persons when using your appliance, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and

care guide.

3. This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions (see pages 7-11).

4. Replace immediately worn power cords and loose plugs/power outlets.

5. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door.

6. Do not operate your appliance in the presence of explosive fumes.

7. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,

soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable

or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

8. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammables or explosive

substances to the washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite

or explode.

9. Do not reach into the appliance if the tub or agitator is moving.

10. Do not tamper with controls.

11. To reduce risk of injury do not allow children to play in or on the appliance.

Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used

near children.

12. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.

13. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in

more then 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under certain

circumstances. If this is the case, before using this appliance turn on all

the hot faucets and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let the

trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an electric

appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid an accident,

as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.

14. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing

unless specifically recommended in the user-repair instructions that you

understand and have skills to carry out.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least

resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

Warning – Improper connections of the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman

if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

X

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for

the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding

wire with a grounded plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is

properly installed and grounded.

• Improper use of the plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

• Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Wiring Requirements:

• This appliance must be plugged into at least

15 AMP 120 VOLT, 60 HZ GROUNDED OUTLET.

Note: Where a standard two-prong outlet is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility

and obligation of the consumer to have

it replaced with a properly grounded

three-prong outlet.

Extension Cords:

We do not recommend that you use an extension cord.

Power Interruptions

Occasionally there may be power interruptions due to thunderstorms or other

causes. Remove the power cord from AC outlet when a power outage occurs.

When power has been restored re-plug power cord to AC outlet. If outage is for

a prolonged period, clean washer before using it again. For details see "other

• Install the pressure regulator to each inlet valves

of the unit. Make sure the flat rubber washer

is placed in the pressure regulator.

• Connect the elbow coupling of the inlet hose

to the valve and make sure to tighten it.

Note: • Please be sure that the COLD inlet hose is

connected with the valve for cold water

(marked with "C").

• Please be sure that the HOT inlet hose is

connected with the valve for hot water

(marked with "H").

Note: A flat rubber washer must be present inside each end of the inlet hoses.

Over tightening may cause damage to the valve.

Water Drainage Hose

• The height of the pipe for the water drainage

hose should be between 2'6" to 3'3". The

water drain hose must be securely placed

on the clip on the back of the washing machine.

• Use the water drainage support (gooseneck)

supplied as an accessory for proper installation.

If the water drain hose needs to be extended,

it should not be extended more than 8'2".

(Longer extension will result in concurrent water

inflow and outflow.) The diameter of the extension

hose should be the same as the original hose.

Caution: Water drainage hose must not be immersed in water. The original and

extension hoses should be tightly connected.
